Interestingly enough, that response received more upvotes on HN than his original post

- sph 3y agoThe comments to that last post are still as obnoxious and as short-sighted as the original: a bunch of nerds bike-shedding and defending the status quo as if their life depended on it. Only there you can find so many that just love JSON, as if it descended from heaven and they have never had any issue with it. What's a trailing comma? I guess the lesson is: avoid the opinion of popularity-based social media, such as Reddit, HN, Twitter, etc. 90% is people trying to outsmart each other with their drive by criticism for karma. In fact, in general, just ignore pretty much anyone's opinion if you are creating something, whether it's a personal project, a work of art or any other creative endeavour. Vision is a solitary process; the vast majority lack vision at all, and pretty much no one shares YOUR vision.
